Another Wednesday night spin-in

Mid Island Weavers and Spinners (and other FiBre fReAks) Guild is having another spin-in on Nov 16th, 7pm. It’s open to spinners and wannabe spinners. There will be a variety of wheels there and spindles you can try. Learn how to make your own yarn. We had such a good time last month, we decided to try a spin-in tis month too. The spin-in is free and open to anyone.   Last month we had seven spinners!  This month we are trying to break that record.
